We get a lot of questions about a firm's pro bono policy. The truth is that while many firms have pro bono programs, but many don't really create a situation where an associate is encouraged to give back to the community. This firm is one of the best we've seen for creating incentives for associates to really give back to the community in a variety of ways, including providing low cost legal services. All this in a corporate firm with a full service practice. This large Northeastern firm is polished, with devoted small, regional, and some national clientele. Don't be fooled, this firm expects serious contributions in terms of billable hours, especially in their complex insurance practice, but is happy to dole out the rewards.
